Moving with Apartments.com (and a giveaway!)

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of apartments.com for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
We are in the process of getting our home ready to sell. We have been here over 11 years and when we moved in the plan was to stay 2-5 years... but we stayed longer and now we are out-growing our house, especially with a 3rd child on the way! We are considering lots of places to move close to where we live and some father away. One thing we are considering is renting for a while so that we can find the perfect place to live without feeling rushed.
If you are looking to move apartments.com can be very helpful. They have listing of Apartments and homes for rent nation wide.
I tried out apartments.com to see what kind of homes were available to us and It was so easy to use! You get to put in your search criteria and then they list all the best matches and all the close matches and you can click on the ones that look right for you and find out lots of information on each listing! They even have an app for your phone/mobile device (Iphone, Ipad, Android)! So you can search on the go!
Just for fun I check out a couple homes they have for rent in our area. Here are couple that I found that we could easily move into:

For more fun I checked out homes to rent in South Carolina. My sister lives there and I have always wanted to live close her. Here a couple homes that I would love to move into there:

Giveaway:

The great people at apartments.com are giving away a $25 visa gift card to one F&J reader! Yay! All you have to do is check out their site and come back and leave a comment with a link to the listing you would like to check out yourself! Even if you are not planning a move soon you can just do it for fun!

They didn't have any in my search area, so I looked to where my family lives.http://www.rentalhomesplus.com/Utah/Salt-Lake-City/Stunning-4-Beds-2Baths-Sugarhouse/1029173?searchCriteria=4v8GAk1DdIUzcXdjEhxi71OPJ20v-|h7cvhyJwURQgvLL45O7fq9SkZi4XZdkXp7arNRQFf5UScjfkH-|PJIsih8px9oNe7T1J1ThVwbGZPMyc0X34mSOrk7DK0tF-|LZWBi/LWCf7pssotkhvXTaKV3IGe1zhOWDY2rTvEZgWGJuVBrPlBeOSou3K5vDLShpmMD0ebfKeog6H3n03kSN-|37Mj2yv-|YIXQE&sid=ab73ec82-02c6-4d8f-8ae8-d513aaf60e14&stype=CityStateOrZip&frontdoor=izea&partner=izea&match=4&origin=apts
